There is no problem here because in practice MWI is nothing more than the usual QM formalism to compute the outcome of experiments where you then assume that the ensemble of all possible outcomes really exists. Locality then follows from the fact hat the dynamics of the theory is manifestly

The many worlds idea has already been falsified because it cannot account for the observed violation of the Bell inequalities for entangled particles. MWI is supposedly a local theory -- where is the local account of the correlations of entangled particles? Bruce On Thu, Aug 31, 2023 at 12:39 

Is Many Worlds Falsifiable?

2023-08-30 Thread John Clark
The short answer is yes, Many Worlds is falsifiable. For example, right now there are experiments underway in an attempt to prove that the GRW theory of objective quantum wave collapse makes predictions that Many Worlds does not, if they are successful it will prove that Everett was dead wrong,
